    For the coming season cult coach Gregg Popovich (70), since 1996 in office, supported by two new assistant coaches. On the one hand, Will Hardy, who first joined the franchise in 2010 after graduating from Williams College as an intern.

    The former video coordinator is, according to "Pop", a "talented young basketball player who has earned a lot of respect within the organization because of his knowledge, spirit and personality".

    In addition, legend Tim Duncan returns. The now 43-year-old ended his active career in 2016 after 19 years, five championships, three finals MVP, two MVP and 15 All-Star awards in San Antonio. "It just fits," Popovich jokingly explains, "that after 19 years as Tim Duncan's assistant, he reciprocated my favor."

  • Football makes the world go 'round

    If you thought the summer would be boring without a football World Cup or a European Championship, you were wrong. The past several weeks offered three continental tournaments (African Cup of Nations, Copa América and Gold Cup) one global event (Women’s World Cup), plus the UEFA European Under-21 Championship with altogether 180 matches among 88 national teams.

  • What's going on with Bale? Zidane used it in the Real-Arsenal match and the striker scored a goal

    Gareth Bale returned to better feelings and decided that it would be good to change into Madrilen's equipment for Zinedine Zidane to use it for Real-Arsena l (2-2, 3-2 after the penalty shootout). Bale has scored for "galactici" in the 56th minute, making it 1-2. However, he missed the penalty shootout.

    In the previous match, played with Bayern at the International Champions Cup, Bale refused to equip himself. The information was confirmed by Zinedine Zidane, who said he was waiting for the break , but he also said that if Bale did not go to another team, he would have the same conditions as the rest of the players. Spanish journalists, however, write that if he stays in Real Madrid, Gareth Bale will not be the owner, his relationship with Zidane being extremely cold.

    Gareth Bale is wanted by Jiangsu Suning, Olăroiu's team
    Real Madrid is not willing to leave the price for the Bernabeu footballer for more than 100 million euros in 2013. Blanco Group hopes to cash in at least 50 million euros for the Zinedine Zidane publicly humiliated player . That's because he needs money hoping he can buy Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

    Real Madrid, blocked by Chinese law
    The Chinese want Gareth Bale enormously, but they are reluctant when it comes to exorbitant amounts. That's because the government has imposed a luxury tax to stop massive purchases - any Chinese SuperLiga club will actually pay double the transfer amount if it exceeds 5.7 million! Thus, if Jiangsu Suning will give 50 million to Gareth Bale, he will be forced to pay another 50 million to the Chinese state.

    A million euros a week are ready to pay his salary to Sun's Bale
    That is why Real Madrid bosses are trying to find other variants desperately to circumvent the legislation in China. These are rates and bonuses, but the details are complex, and the mercato period in China ends on July 30.
    That's why Gareth Bale's imprint, about which the press in England claims to be in China, seems to be master of the situation - he knows that time works in his favor. If Real Madrid agrees to give Bale for a much lower amount, that means that the footballer will have more money to install and will, of course, benefit.

    Even if Gareth Bale is reluctant to move to China, the impresario seems to be convinced that breaking away Real Madrid would cost much more money in his account .

Harris wants to focus on the upcoming season at the Sixers.

    Also LeBron and AD are missing
    In the past few weeks, Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers) , James Harden, Eric Gordon (both Houston Rockets) and Lillard's backcourt colleague CJ McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers) have all had their thumbs down. That superstar LeBron James (Lakers) will not play, has been stuck for some time.

    The US will be the defending champion in China (31 August to 16 September), where the Czech Republic will be the first opponent on 1 September. On August 5th, the training camp of the US selection begins in Las Vegas, on August 17, then the squad will be announced.
